sad news, really sad  Tina Turtle, our beloved Autosleeper Ravenna has to go :o( 

but the good news is its only because of a crazy little thing called love   

our two halves are becoming one as they say  and we need all our pennies for the new house we're buying together

So, question is - where is best place to sell at this time of year?  On net?  Or maybe a specific website?  or in a mag?  or at a show?

What layout is it? Does it have rear seatbelts? Does it have an oven? And lastly how much are you hoping to sell it for?

I know this doesn't answer your question but we are hoping to get m/h very soon if we can find the right one at the right price for us.

We have just sold our VW Westfalia on the net, advertised in the usual places and although not massive interest, the interest we had was all positive, seem to be less time wasters this time of year.

hi vikki

nice surprise!  I didn't plan on selling Tina through this email but its nice to get your enquiry.

I don't know if you have done much research but Autosleepers are (in my humble opinion) the higher end of the builld qualities and they also use proper timber in the construction of their cabinetry which really matters to me because my family business is in timber, I hate plastic wood! 

The layout is rear l shaped lounge that makes up to a double bed, panoramic window so you can pull the curtain back and watch the waves in the mornings.  Full oven, 4 burner hob, stainless modern (not horrid coloured!) sink and drainer with cutting board/sink cover in glass.  yes it has rear belt, cannot recall if there is 1 or two.  front seats swivel for entertaining, lovely quality carpets, spot lights for low level lighting in the evening, awning and for safety when driving - ABS, air bag and power steering. 
I spent a long time researching before i bought and i really did want to find quality and i have not been at all disappointed.  I will be sorry to see her go but when we buy again in the future, i know it will be auto sleeper. 

I would consider selling her with all the contents too - if you are new to MHing.  You know the kind of thing - pans, plates, crockery etc.  again, they are all quality, mostly from John Lewis.  Tina cost £29,000 last year, I'm going to put her for sale at £25,500 including contents, we need to sell her quickly for the house purchase so its a bit of a bargain price.

Hope thats enough info.  I have some pics if you want to see, otherwise you can see ravennas on autoslepers website.

And thnaks to Andy Vines, I'll get straight on with advertising

Sorry we do not want one with a rear lounge as I don't want dd at the opposite end of the van when we are travelling, she is only 6. I would like to be able to reach her fairly easily. I hope you sell her quickly though, thanks for taking the trouble to reply.
